Product Overview

Mild Steel (MS) plates are the most fundamental raw material for the metalworking industry. Containing a low percentage of carbon, these plates are highly ductile, malleable, and easy to weld. They are used in non-critical applications where high tensile strength is not the primary requirement.

Typical uses include base plates for machinery, road plates for temporary access, storage tanks, and general repair work. Because of their softness compared to alloy steels, they are easy to cut, drill, and machine.

Convergence Steel maintains a large inventory of MS plates in standard commercial quality, ensuring rapid availability for fabricators and maintenance workshops.
